Against the country

Harder than the average.

The England benchmark is 87%. It is the share of decided applications that were approved, so a withdrawal counts as neither. Source: MHCLG Live Table P120A (England, rolling 12-month).

What Wren does here

15.7% of applications here are refused.

Central Bedfordshire decided 1,515 applications in the reporting year, and refused about 15.7% of them. A refusal is usually a document problem rather than a scheme problem: the policy that governs it was not addressed, or the evidence it asks for was not there.

Wren drafts against Central Bedfordshire Local Plan 2015-2035 (2021), a chartered planner reads the draft and signs it under their own indemnity, and a case manager files it and chases it. A householder application is £499, and Central Bedfordshire's own statutory fee is separate and paid by you directly to them.
